From Wikipedia (where tired and sometimes lazy bloggers go for bio quotes):<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>Amitava Kumar is a writer who was born in India and is currently Professor of English at Vassar College. Kumar is the author of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1565849264\/sepiamutiny-20\">Husband of a Fanatic<\/a> (The New Press, 2005 and Penguin-India, 2004), Bombay-London-New York (Routledge and Penguin-India, 2002), and Passport Photos (University of California Press and Penguin-India, 2000). He has also written a book of poems, No Tears for the N.R.I. (Writers Workshop, Calcutta, 1996). The novel Home Products was published in early 2007 by Picador-India, and will appear in the US in August 2009 under the title Nobody Does the Right Thing. Early in 2009, Picador-India published his book Evidence of Suspicion, which will be published by Duke University Press in August 2009 under the title, A Foreigner Carrying in the Crook of His Arm a Tiny Bomb: A Writer&#8217;s Report on the Global War on Terror. [<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amitava_Kumar\">Wiki<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>I spent a few solid days chatting about writing, blogging and politics with Amitava at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver where he was there as press.  Fantastic guy and I like how his mind works, or rather how he sees the world.  Hoping in the coming weeks that you get that same glimpse.<\/p>\n\n<!--more-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since we put a new guest blogger in front of you.
